Civilization 6 Interview - 18 minutes with lead designer, Ed Beach (plus some new gameplay) Civ 6 Maya Lady Six Sky s bonuses unique units and buildings explained Lady Six Sky is a Science and Military-focused leader of the Mayans.

Watch on YouTube Tips for playing as Maya with Lady Six Sky in Civ 6 Lady Six Sky's Mayan civilization is of course a Science-focused one, but interestingly it's all about building "tall", as opposed to "wide". In other words, you need to focus on developing a small number of high-population cities, instead of a large number of low-population ones spread across the map. Take great care in where you place your first few cities, especially your initial Capital, and make sure they're suitable for gaining scientific bonuses - so, they're near a good number of mountains or jungle. Try to fit as many as you can within 6 tiles of your capital, and then focus on growing their population. That means ensuring you have lots of excess Food, Housing, and Amenities in your core cities - which should mean your Mayab-boosted Farms stack nicely. Use the bonuses from those farms to rush for Science-based gains early on. Combat-wise, rush for Archers so you can get your unique Hul'che out early, and then get aggressive! When you do capture cities, it'll usually be better to simply raze them instead of taking over control, because their yields will be significantly hampered by the Mayab ability - aside from the odd strategic location you want to get locked down just in case. Scientific Victory or Domination Victory should be your goals. You can use your Scientific prowess to facilitate more advanced military units or do the reverse, using a strong early-game military to establish a good, defensive position early on and turtle your way to a Scientific win.
